Development Secretary Michael Wong said on Monday that officials have found no irregularities at government construction projects being carried out by contractors embroiled in a safety scandal at the MTR.
Concerns have been raised about the quality of building work at three stations on the future Shatin-Central Link.
One of the contractors linked to the scandal, Leighton Asia, is also involved in seven government projects, Wong said.
But the secretary said an inter-departmental group had found no problems with the seven projects.
He added that officials would be stepping up their monitoring of the construction work in question.
Last week, Chief Executive Carrie Lam announced a judge-led inquiry into allegations of corner-cutting at Hung Hom Station. Since then, lawmakers have revealed further concerns about work carried out at the future To Kwa Wan and Exhibition Centre stations.
